Dr. Ray McKinley is a Speaker, Author, and Coach. He is an expert in Thought Leadership and has recently published a book on the subject entitled Ride the Elephant – The Journey to True Success.

Dr. McKinley presents timely leadership concepts that this world desperately needs. You have a choice to experience the perils of bondage that come with a failure to lead OR the fulfillment and the joy of personal freedom that comes with being a leader in your relationships, families, and at work.

The podcast will present specific strategies to transcend the 12 Dichotomies that keep us stuck. Learn how to:

·      Overcome adversities and use it to Ride the Elephant to True Success.

·      Mend your relationships at work and at home.

·      Successfully have the tough conversations with those you love.

·      Stop being motivated by garnering the approval of others and start being inspired by your passion and vision.

It is time to renew your leadership mindset, based on time tested beliefs, values, and principles that have worked for thousands of years that we have left to the wayside.

It is time to erase a mindset that controls and intimidates by blaming, excuse-making, victimhood, fear, anxiety, presumption, narcissism, situational ethics and value-judging?

It is time to lead without using fear and suppression, rescuing and enabling, conformity and labeling, and by marginalizing others with ad hominem rhetoric. 

It is time to embrace edifying leadership principles.

Dr. McKinley makes you aware how we have lost them in today’s culture and what you can do to get them back.

 

Leadership is an inside job; it begins with you having a leadership mindset.
